[QUOTE="fatryan, post: 862967, member: 550026"] NegativeEffect1: for the majority of potheads...i agree. but there are some who (without proper psychological intervention) NEED marijuana. dont think im some pothead defending the shit. i dont smoke anymore, cause i dont like it anymore. i dont do any drugs. but im studying psychology, and there is a strong relationship between some psychological disorders and substance abuse. For example: an old friends of mine is the biggest pothead i know. smoking 10 times a day is cutting back for him. but i know the kid needs it. he has serious mood problems and without his marijuana he is irritable, forgetful, and clumsy. and this isnt merely an observation from withdraw of the drug. hes like this for weeks/months after quitting. marijuana (along with many other substances) affect sensory receptors and chemicals in the brain (dopamine, seritonin, nueroepinephrin, etc). and these chemicals affect mood, judgement, coordination, and many other things. if the balance of chemicals isnt right in someones brain (i.e. ME, im Bipolar I), people may resort to other means that will balance out the chemicals...whether or not they are harming their own body. i choose prescription, not black market.
